A few things to know

Good questions make a better starting point.

What should I compare in an offer?

Consider the total cost, repayment schedule, fees, conditions and fit with your business. Ask the provider to explain anything that is unclear before accepting.

Will there be a credit check?

Requirements vary by provider and product. Read the relevant disclosures and ask about any credit inquiry before giving authorization.

How quickly could funding be available?

Timing depends on the provider, your application and any documents or checks required. Review the details of an offer before making business commitments based on it.

Why do I verify my mobile number?

A one-time SMS code helps confirm that the number provided belongs to you. The form asks you to complete this step before submitting your application.
